Summary
"This was your plan all along, wasn't it? Fucking distracting me with this love bullshit, your pathetic sob stories, and-" Blood explodes inside Rin's mouth like a warning siren. But rage wins. Rin grips Isagi's waist where a silent battleground hides. Fingertips threaten to burn through the fabric, and color over damaged skin with indigo bruises. "Making me feel sorry for you, because of your disgusting scars."
No matter the challenges and defeats Isagi faces on the field, the brilliant, brave fire in his eyes never goes out.
But for the first time, Rin sees that light extinguish.

Summary
The pitch was their life—the sanctuary engraved with each footprint, bearing witness to an eternal vow shaped through exchanged glances, every pass, and each net-shaking strike. They would always be who they were—striker Isagi Yoichi and striker Itoshi Rin, never once relinquishing the burning desire pulsing endlessly in their veins to reach the eternal peak, never faltering on the one and only path they chose in life.
Thus, Rin could never fathom why Isagi silently vanished from the pitch, from their own sanctuary, leaving behind an unfinished vow, a destination that had never once faded in the depths of his ocean-waved eyes.
